Chickpeas are often overlooked as a salad topping or smaller component of a larger dish, but they’re so much more versatile than that! This recipe combines a can of chickpeas with household spices to blend up a hearty vegetarian-friendly burrito filling that you’ll find yourself making over and over again.

Chickpea Burrito Recipe

Ingredients

1 can of chickpeas, not drained

1 tsp. cumin

1 tsp. paprika

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. red pepper flakes

1 tbsp. lime juice

Small amount of salt & pepper

Soft tortillas

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in Magic Bullet and blend.

Add to heated skillet, stirring occasionally. The mixture will begin to thicken as the liquid burns off. Cook and stir it as you would scrambled eggs, until the mixture has the consistency of mashed potatoes.

Top it with some avocado slices and dried cilantro, and you’ve got yourself a happy little burrito!
